I just bought G-Force Platinum - Need help!

[Celtictigress23]

I just bought G-Force Platinum but I don't know how to get to the features i.e. the V bar or how to bring up the visuals while I'm doing other things like working in MS Word. That is one of the main reasons I bought it so I could see the visuals while doing other stuff.
Really all I seem to be able to do is watch the visuals while playing a CD, but not if I'm working in Word or online, etc.

I feel so stupid. Please help! Thank You!

I don't know if I'm answering your question the way you want; but here goes:

You can make G-Force react to sound without necessarily playing your CD. For instance,you can set your sound preferences to gather input through the built-in miicrophone---that is, if your machine has this feature. BTW, I'm assuming you have a PC since you mentioned the VBar.

My iMac does have a built-in mike and I set my sound prefs to the above option if I want it to pick up ambient noise, i.e. the surrounding sound source(s).

I hope that helps.

Sorry it doesn't really help but thanks for trying.

Basically - I don't know how to use or get to any of the features. I don't know how to access the V-bar. I don't even see it listed anywhere. I don't know how to use any of the features mentioned in the advertisement. They mention all the "bells and whistles" and they sold me but now I don't know how to get to the "bells and whistles", etc.
I notices that I can do a screen shot by hitting the Print Scrn/SysRq button on my computer but I can't do it by hitting ` - Interesting. That's really not a big deal though.
As for using it as a screen saver. Just start the program i.e. Windows Media Player and don't put in a CD or play a CD and then when it's finished let it just stary in there or take it out - either way. Again- no big deal.

But mostly want to know how to have the visuals playing or showing up while in word, etc.
Also want to know where this V-bar is or how to get to it and use it, etc.
Thanks to anyone who can clue me in.

hello,

are you on Mac or PC?

If you're on PC the install program should have created a G-Force shortcut folder in your start menu, containing among other thing the V-bar, Standalone and Toolbar.
From the feature you describe you are probably willing to use the V-bar.
Once launched you can right-click on it to change the properties.

If the install program didn't create the shortcut group in the start menu you can access it and/or create a shortcut yourself, it is in C:\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force if you kept the default install path.

hope you'll figure the rest out ;o)

Hey Thanks- Yes- I just checked and it's there! Hopefully I can figure out how to use it all.
